United We Ride:
Increasing Mobility for Americans with Disabilities
by Mary Leary, PhD, Senior Director of Project ACTION and the National Center on Senior Transportation, Easter Seals
Thursday, May 20, 3:00-4:00 p.m. EDT
Transportation is essential for everyone, including the 54 million Americans with disabilities. In addition, as people age, transportation choices and mobility skills may change requiring accessible transportation options. Is your community transportation-accessible?
Participant benefits:
- A means to assess community readiness to support a continuum of mobility needs;
- Learn new concepts for greater access like travel training, person-directed mobility managers in your community, and increased accessible transportation options;
- Connection between accessible transportation and improved quality of life and health, greater civic engagement, reduced costs of long term care, increased intergenerational diversity and personal empowerment and independence.
